SLF-HEATING SAIRON.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 398,949, dated March 5, 1889.

Application filed March 9, 1888. Serial No. 266,678. (No model.)

To all whom' it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULiUs .Moon CZE- PULL, of Charleston, in the count? ot' Charlesto'n and State of South Carolina, have in- Vented a new and Improved Self-Heating Sadllron, of which the following is a full, clear,

and exact description. Y

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved self-heating sad-iron, Io which is simple, durable in construction, and

quickly and uniformlpv heated by the use of gasoline or like substance carried in the sadl iron. u The invention consists el' certain parts and details and combinations of the same, as will be fully described hereinafter, and then pointed out in the claim.

Reference is to behad to the accompanying y drawings, forming a part of this specification, L in which similar letters of reference indicate Corresponding parts in all the ligures.

Figure l is a central longitudinal section of the improvement. Fig. 2 is a seetional plan View of the same on the line at a, of Fig. l. Fig. 3 is a vertical cross-section of the same on the line y y of Fig, 2; and Fig. l is an end elevation of the improvement.

The improved self-heating sad-iron is pro- 1fided with a hollow bottoni. part, A, having a 3o removable top plate, B, in which are formed a number of apertures, B', for the admission of air, and like apertures, A', are formed in the sides and top of the hollow body A for the same purpose. On the ends ot the body A are secured the reservoirs C and D, in which the gasoline to be used in the sad-iron is stored. The reservoirs C and D are connected with-each other near their bottoms by a pipe, F, and a similar pipe, E, Connects the said 4o reservoirs near their tops. A handle, G, is

formed around the pipe E. In the top 01"; the reservoir C is an inlet-opening, C', for lilling the reservoirs C and D with gasoline or other like substance, and the opening C can be closed by a screw-cap, H.

From the lower part ol the reservoir D -leads a horizontal pipe, l, to a chamber, J, formed in the lower end of the reservoir C and in the top partof the body A. The cham- 5o ber J is not connected directly with the reslby screwing on the cap H.

'in g L.

ervoir C, but indirectly*through the pipes l and l? and the reservei r D. From the eliamber .l leads a horizontal. pipe, l, whieh ein tends inside of the hollow body A and supports the inn er en d of the burner L, into which 5 5 it opens.

The burner L is formed at its inner end inte a eene, L, which 'forms the seat for the pointed end of a valve-rod, N, screwing into the said burn erL and extending to the outside, 6o earrying on its outer end a handle or button,

O, for turning' said Valve-rod N in the burner The cone L of the burner L opens into a pipe, P, extending forward and downward and into an inverted distributing-pan, Q, resting on the top of the bottom plate, A2, of the body A. A number of apertures, Q, are formed in the `lower edge of said distributingpan Q, so as to permit the burning gases to pass out of the distrihitting-pan Q on the bot- 7o tom plate, A2.

Under the burner L is held a pan, R, into whieh the gasoline from theburn er L can pass when the Valve is open and before theburner is ignited.

The operation is as follows: The valve-rod I N closes the cone outlet-opening L of the burner L, and then the operator lills the reservoirs C and l) vith gasoline or like substance, after which the reservoir C is closed So The gasoline from the reservoir D passes through the pipe I to the chamber J, and from thelatter through the pipe K to the burner L. l.Vhen the operator desires to heat the sad-iron, he removes the top plate, D, and turns the valve-rod N sufficiently to permitI a few drops of gasoline to pass out through the eene-shaped opening L into the pan R. The operator then again closes the valve-rod N and ignites the gasoline in the 9o pan R. The heat from the gasoline in the pan R heats the burner L and part of the pipe K, whereb7 the gasoline contained in the said burner L and the pipe K are converted into gases, and when the operator new opens the valve-rod N by turning the button O the gases escape through the cone-shaped open,- rlhe operator now ignites the escaping gases atthe eoneshaped opening L of the burner L, and then closes the top plate, zoo

B. The ignited gases' pass into the pipe lr and into the distrilnlting-pan Q, from which they pass out at the bottom openings, Q', and i on the bottom plate, A?, outside of the distributing-pan Q. lt will be seen that the igj nited gases iii-st heat the middle part of the bottom plate, Ai', surrounded by the lower y edge of the distributing-pan Q, and the bu rning gases from the distributing-pan Q heat the rest of the said bottom plate, A2. At the saine time sufficient heat is generated by the burning gases emitted from the Cone-shaped opening' L to convert all the gasoline Coming down the pipe K into gases before issuingfrom the cone-shaped opening.;l L', so that all the gasoline from the reservoirs C and D is finallyburnedat the burner Q, except that f portion burned in the pan R.

Vhen the reservoirs C and D are onoe filled with gasoline and the gases issuing from the burner L are ignited, as before described, the sad-'iron will be continually heated foi' about l six hours before the reservoirs need to be relilled with gasoline.

Having th us fully d esoribed my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent.

In a self-heating sad-iron, the combination of a hollow body, reservoirs supported upon the body at each end thereof, pipes connecting the reservoirs together, a chamber at one end of the body, a pipe leading from one reservoir to said chamber, aburner in the body, a pipe lending from the said chamber to the burner, an apertured distributing-pan on the bottom of the body, and a pipe into which the burner opens leading to the distributingpan, substantially as herein shown and desoribed.
